The standard retort for Rudy boosters when the facts are against them.
You can't win by running against someone. You have to win by being FOR something - such as conservartive values.
if that's the choice,
what are you going to do?
"You can't win by running against someone. You have to win by being FOR something - such as conservartive values."
Amen brother, preach it loud, preach it long and preach it OFTEN!
That might work if the country was conservative, but it is not. The are decidedly OPPOSED to conservatives, in fact. Take a look:

The political miscalculations of hard right conservatives cost us the House and Senate last year. Now they say "trust us" as we desperately try to save the presidency for the Republican Party. They have no evidence that any conservative can win, and they say they will just take their marbles and go home if we do not do things their way, but "trust us."
The majority of decent, hard-working Republicans understand that if you are in the trenches with someone, and that someone looks out at the enemy charging, then says: "if our army appoints the wrong general, I'm hightailin' it outs here" -- well, it doesn't particularly inspire a lot of confidence.
The irony on these Rudy hatefest threads runs deep. LOL.
